NBA rumors: Kyrie Irving's future with Mavs draws speculation (ClutchPoints)

Questions surrounding whether or not a Kyrie Irving-Mavericks marriage will extend past this season continue to linger.

There are rumors he could sign with the Los Angeles Lakers or Phoenix Suns, which would be reunions with LeBron James or Kevin Durant, respectively, if he chose to go that route. Here are a couple of quotes, per Pincus, on what’s being said about the question at hand: Irving was acquired via trade from the Brooklyn Nets before the deadline, a move seen by some as desperation on the part of the Mavericks.

"It takes a real man to go back, call somebody and be like, 'Hey, man, I was young. And it just didn’t align. I wanted to be the leader. “I played with Kyrie for three seasons. He’s always gonna be my brother… It just didn’t align. Why?" "Why must it always be brother against brother? I asked for this, and I want this. I made some mistakes. I want the responsibility. And I take it on full force.

Mavericks' Kyrie Irving: Grabs team-high 11 boards (CBSSports.com)

Irving supplied 21 points (8-22 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists over 38 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 loss to the Lakers.

Despite his struggles, Irving still posted a team-high 11 rebounds and trailed only Luka Doncic for the team lead in scoring with 21 points. Irving was most productive in the second quarter where he knocked down four of seven shots before entering the break with 12 points, seven rebounds and six dimes. He had a dismal second half, however, going just 3-of-12 from the field for nine points, including 1-of-8 from three as the Lakers fought their way back and stole a huge win on the road.

So, the apology was on the cards despite both of them being equally responsible for the easily avoidable loss. Irving was the king of 4th quarter this season coming into the game. His crucial pass from out of bounds with under 20 seconds remaining in the game and the Mavs 3-down would have taken it to overtime. The Dallas team was up 27 in the second quarter, they then allowed the Lakers to not just come back but win the game 111-108. The Sunday evening home game against the Lakers was a shocker. The Slovenian sensation was putting up the usual NBA backcourt stats alone in most games and then the Dallas Mavericks added Kyrie Irving.

If money truly is the thing that Kyrie Irving is chasing this summer then Lakers fans should accept the reality that he will not be coming to LA. Paying Irving max money would not allow the team to fill out the roster with the hard cap. While this is a bummer, it is probably best for the long-term outlook of the franchise.
